2go


There's one fact we all know/
About the social evil called 2go/
Is that never let the app/
Attract so much attention from your Nokia, Blackberry or Samsung tab/
Or just leave it alone/
And dont put it on your phone/
90% of Nigerian Juveniles/
Have it as one of their files/
They chat,type and flirt/
Until their fingers hurt/
Months back,we all saw with our eyes/
How a certain girl was raped by a group of guys/
They add,share and send/
All sort of pics,till it becomes addictive at the end/
Till they turn dumb and/
Daft with all the pathetic abbrievations and short hand/
We know it gives them the sense/
Of socialising and keeps them close to friends/
Each time the house gets boring/
They open it and log in/
But have you ever paused/
To review what disaster it has caused/
To sit and listen/
To how shallow the young ones now reason/
It kills dexterity and the ability/
To be creative and subsides the brain's agility/
It turns the smart to a blockhead/
And corrupts the innocent instead/
They waste away their youthful age/
Chatting away crap and garbage/
Before this monster was brought/
They used to read alot/
They used the school libraries and read and read and read/
Have you forgetten 'NO Longer at Ease and 'Sinzwe Banzi is Dead'/
They had shelves that glitter/
With books like 'Eze Goes to School' plus 'Chike and the River'/
We never took classes for a fluke/
When exams came,you hardly see us without a book/
We read plays and tales of all sort/
Tortoise and kings and the number of wives they got/
'Hamlet' and 'Tess of the Dubervilles' our study rooms had/
'Joys of 'Motherhood' and 'The Bottled Leopard'/
We also read 'Robinson Crusoe' ,then 'Abiku' was the poem/
What about Soyinka's 'Lion and the Jewel/
We read of 'Doctor Faustus' and Chinua's 'Arrow of God' was a treasure/
J.P Clark, Elechi Amadi educated, plus reading plays from Ola Rotimi was too much pleasure/
Haba !! Did you forget Obasanjo's 'My Command' ah!/
Back then in SS1 we all loved Gabriel Okara/
The younger read 'Ali and Simbi'/
'Jack and Jill' got us singing - simply/
We read about Abgo and Wakama/
'Violence', 'West African Verse','Without a Silver spoon' and 'Anthills of the Savannah'/
'Lamb Tales from Shakespear' was bought by a few/
But what lovely books back then we knew/
But it's so late, so start/
By deleting your 2go chat/
And use the space it took/
And install an e-book/
Download books,books,books,from pdfs to quotes from Aristotle/
You can get help from Amazon or google/
At first your peers will laugh at you/
But then give them a month or two/
They'll come back to seek/
How you managed to get to the peak/
They'll be so pained/
At the mass of knowlege they should have gained/
They'll see the darkness they've been in/
Having 2go on their phone sreen/
